Dropped in for a takeaway on our way back to our campsite. Fish was delicious and the chips were amazing. Never tasted any quite like them before from a chippy, crunchy on the outside and fluffy potato in the middle . Possibly double fried or maybe tossed in seasoning/flour before frying. My mouth is watering just writing about them! Friendly fast service too. Little sit in place at the back if you don't want takeaway and a carpark at the side as well. Would thoroughly recommend Greg & Lou's. All other chippys will be compared to them from now on.

As this was the first time we had eaten in Greg & Lou's, we were not disappointed. We both chose Haddock and chips, along with one very tasty homemade tartare sauce and a curry sauce. They also do a choice of Cornish fish like Megrim too depending on availability. The meals arrived and my pictures don't really do them justice, they were both VERY good sized portions. One was literally Moby Dick on the plate. Both were beautifully cooked fish with delicious crisp batter. Chips were the best we have had in a long time and we thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Our service was very friendly and attentive with nothing being too much trouble for them. The restaurant area was very clean and bright with a lovely atmosphere, we both look forward to returning soon!

Finally made it over here (from Helston area) after hearing good things....got a takeaway, great friendly service and the food was top notch! No floppy sad looking fish in sight. Freshly cooked, crispy and the chips were something else! Had another chippy as my long standing number 1 but think I've now been swayed! Only wish I lived closer (probably for the best though 🐷)

This is the best fish and chip shop (with the most varied menu I have seen in any fish and chip shop) The most amazing chips are coated in what seems to be a very light batter. The online ordering is easy to use. I have always found the staff to be helpful and courteous even when the shop is very busy. Thank you Greg and Lou and please keep up the amazing puddings.

Absolutely proper fish & chips! The chips are amazing, they have a teensy bit of batter in & are always super crispy & delicious (plus cooked in beef dripping - if you're veggie, they can fry in sunflower oil to order, so call ahead) & fresh fish, cooked spot on. Fabulous mushy peas, they do their own & there is a little bit of sugar in there for extra flavour. My son & I usually have a standard fish each & share a large chips (see photo) & it's more than enough. All in all a top experience - I've lived in Redruth for 6 years & this is definitely, far & away the best fish & chip shop in Redruth or surrounding area
